This medium-sized
cockatoo is relatively quiet and has an engaging, spritely personality
and
a good ability to mimic human speech.

The Rosie is very
playful and interactive with its owner.

This species should be fed
a lean diet as it is prone to obesity. A diet similar to that
for a cockatiel is good for a Rose-Breasted Cockatoo. This species
is prone to fatty lipomas, just like budgies. Feed them a lot
of sprouted seeds leafy greens such as kale, dandelion, chard,
etc. My Rosies love to shred green limbs such as eucalyptus, willow,
honeysuckle, or palm and very likely they eat some of the green
bark and young leaf shoots. They can have spray millet and small
seeds such as canary and white proso millet but limit the amount
of dry seeds fed.

Known to live for many years, this lovely cockatoo makes a fine
pet!
